[Bioc-devel] running devel and release versions of R and bioc on mac os?

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

I do this routinely, but I access R from the terminal or from within
Emacs, using ESS.  I also compile R myself.

It is possible to do this using the Rgui by using the Rswitch
application, but that depends quite a bit on how you install R-devel
(installer (is that possible?), compile or untar compiled code).
However, using Rswitch you will only ever have a single R running.  If
you want to run them side by side I think you need to modify stuff
(which I do and which is not that hard).

This seems like a reasonable request so I wonder what other people do
(although I predict most people will say compile from source).
